Hm, I should have read the full proposal I guess :(
Some of the mentioned package names in the proposal are quite bogus
though:
* libgtrans-mysql-3-23
Looks like a library for mysql3.23, not version 3-23 or so. Proper package
name should then be libgtrans-mysql3.23
* libgtrans-postgresql-6-5-3
Same as above, should be libgtrans-postgresql6.5.3
* libid3-3.7-13
* libmath3d-0.3-0
I don't see where those numbers come from or why they are useful.
The idea of seperating the ABI version (bit more general then soname)
from the packagename with a - is indeed useful.
Wichert.
